Every time there used to be an incident with baby Shri Krishna when Kansa sent various demons to kill him, Yashoda Maa and the people of Gokul would take him to the cowshed to get rid of any problems over Kanhaiya and to protect him. Following on from this, Pujya Bhaishri explains the importance of the holy mother cow and cow dung.
Thirty-three million demi-gods reside in mother cow (gau mata).Cow is our mother. The atmosphere of a house where there is a cow is very pure. Since all the demi-gods are present in a cow, we do not consider a cow as an ordinary animal; this is part of our culture. Similarly, Tulsi is not an ordinary plant. In our religion and culture, we also acknowledge rivers as Maa, for example Ganga Maiya, Narmada Maiya, Yamuna Maiya. We worship mountains and trees.
